OK, so our apartment is a total mess with luggage all over because we're packing for the honeymoon. Well, stupid me just walked in the room and SLAMMED my foot into the wheel on one of the luggage pieces. I think I just broke my toe. OUCH!!!! And I ripped the nail right off my little toe, it is bleeding like crazy . I am really hurting and PO'D. My wedding is next week and I have open toe shoes and now I have no nail. Man, oh man!! I am not even safe at home!!

Give it a little time and the pain should stop just ice it and keep it up if you can. I actually did the same thing last month. You need to promise not to laugh when you read this b/c it really isnt funny and it hurt very badly. I had ankle surgury on my left ankle and had a cast up to my knee so one morning I had to go to the bathroom and I grabbed the crutchers with out my glasses on and walked into the hallway well the right crutch got caught on the rug and I thought it moved and I swung thur my right leg jamming 4 toes right into the metal crutch. Now thinking about it is funny but they honestly 3 toes turned purple almost immed. I ended up with both feet up in the air for the next 2 weeks b/c I broke 2 out of the 3 toes. Thank God for LIW's b/c this is the only thing I have been doing for the past 2 mths.
Feel better and keep them iced.

OWCH! I broke my toe a few years back, and just recently aggrevated the same old injury. I hope you put ice on it right away! And DR. can't do much for it, just tape it to another toe so you don't move it. And stay off of it if you can, so it does not get worse. (pain)
Also take alleve...2 of them. The active ingredient in 2 is the same thing you would get perscription strength for pain...its an anti inflamatory and especially for bones I have heard.
